I wanted to do an app with images those have longer widths than height in a list for long, the design inspiration I got from the Apple's recently released Music app.

The ViewCell used in Item template of the list is inline but you could also create a new XAML page of type ViewCell with Binding properties to achieve the same result. I've left a small sample in the code doing just that. You can easily convert the inline item template to a reusable XAML User Control & as usual I am leaving it as a home work for you guys to complete.
